About Democracy Grants for Nonprofits
Democracy nonprofits strengthen civic participation, protect voting rights, and support electoral integrity through research, advocacy, and community engagement. 7,116 active grants fund these critical initiatives, with the U.S. Mission to Italy among the top funding agencies supporting organizations that advance democratic values and institutional resilience both domestically and internationally.
Most democracy grants operate on a competitive basis, with awards typically ranging from $5,000 to $60,000. Program and capacity-building support dominate, though cost-sharing requirements affect only 10% of opportunities. To refine your search, filter by support type—advocacy grants often have distinct eligibility criteria than program funding.
